The kids and I went to my nephew's graduation party on Saturday -- it was great fun, with lots of family and friends to play with.
As we were piling into our truck to go home, the wind started blowing and little hail pellets poured out of the sky. We quickly got into our seats and buckled our seatbelts. We could see that the sky was clear toward our home, so we wanted to start heading that direction.
The storm seemed to gather right above us - dark clouds with lightning flashing.
When, at last, we were on the other side of the storm, Ike commented:
"Mom, look at the beautiful sunset in front of us."
I looked and, right in front of us, was the prettiest sunset I have seen in a long time.
"Isn't it like our lives, Momma?", he said. "We start out dark sinners, like the storm, then go on and move into the light with Jesus."
Thank you, Jesus, that my kids know You.
